Homosexuality Has Consequences – Don R. Patton

Many are influenced by the drumbeat of our liberal media, continually preaching their interpretation of morality (allowed if against the Bible). They militantly demand that the public accept their false claim that the practice of homosexuality is a natural, inborn, genetically determined, un-chosen behavior.

The journal Science has reported, “But many genetic screens have failed to turn up genes that are responsible for sexual orientation….why someone is attracted to a person of the same sex is a question for which science may never fill in all the blanks.” (December 11, 2012)

Of course, particular fleshly temptations are stronger in some individuals than in others, but the obligation to resist and control is shared by all.

“Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7)

On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples. We need to be reminded that James, the brother of Jesus, wrote:

“There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy;…” (James 4:12)

The apostle Paul told the Athenian philosophers that God …

“…has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.” (Acts 17:31)

Jesus himself said…

“the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.” (John 21:48)

That word was divinely revealed and recorded by the authorized ambassadors of Jesus. (II Corinthians 5:20; Ephesians 6:20). They made the will of The Judge very clear.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,… For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.” (Romans 1:18, 26-27)

The last phrase in Paul’s inspired warning is intriguing. These individuals will receive a “due penalty.” He doesn’t describe the nature of the consequence but says it will be “in their own [physical] persons.”

Physical consequences do not compare with eternal, but the fulfilled predictions of Scripture may serve to validate our conviction that the Bible reveals divine wisdom. In spite of powerful, brutal opposition from those supporting the homosexual agenda, reluctant reporting of the physical consequences of homosexuality is leaking out. The following revelations from the scientific community are sobering.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC)…

“In 2015, MSM [Men who have Sex with Men] had 68% of all new HIV infections, even though they made up only around 2% of the population.”
